\"<\/a><\/figure>Mike Mattesi has a fantastic take on capturing a dynamic line and form in his work and great notes to accompany his examples. <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The book is well worth owning<\/a>! I’m just missing the middle child in his main trilogy<\/a> myself. Force: Dynamic Life Drawing for Animators, and Force: Animal Drawing: Animal locomotion and design concepts for animators are currently being read with highlighters in hand.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

His model misses what I would call beats. But only omitted by mention, they are very much present in his work. I’d say he draws with a sweet jazzy swing rhythm. I enjoy his concept of drawing with ‘Force’. Not just a brand, it’s a bit of a philosophical notion about how to interpret his subjects that I find extremely compatible with the ideas I’m teaching in Dynamic Drawing. And he does skating the page more literally than I’ve seen it before! If we we’re to have a textbook for the course I’d be seriously considering this one. You can check it out in his own words on his YouTube channel here<\/a>, TONS of tutorial clips to pour over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve embedded some valuable video introductions to his ideas and methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
